Tactical ballistic missile is a sub-category of SRBM. TBMs usually have a range lower than 300kms. Tayfun is an SRBM if we take into account its max range of 750-850km. Tayfun is a TBM if we take into account its mobility and battlefield deployment(similar to Bora in size and weight). SRBMs and...
I guess CENK is possibly the ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile. There are at least 3 known ramjet missile projects. Gökhan ramjet AA missile(Tübitak), Akbaba ramjet anti-radiation missile(Roketsan), and ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile(Roketsan). Akbaba and Gökhan are airforce projects. Ramjet...
In 2023 Baykar alone will export 3-4 billion worth of UAVs and UAV-related equipment and services. I expect the Turkish defense industry to export at least 6-7 billion worth of goods and services in the defense sector.
Guys, there is a shit a ton of gas in the Black Sea they are announcing it piece by piece. We have already covered that topic. Erdo might announce a huge discovery on new years eve or the first day of the new year while opening the Blacksea Gas facilities. We also found a great prospect in the...

The video I...
Cost calculations are very complex. Half of the flight hours of the TR1s are gone. Do you invest 50 million per plane for upgrades or do you buy brand new TR4 for 150 million? What if an upgrade can be done at 25 million with the contribution of the Turkish defense industry and widespread use of...
Turkiye can literally strip the EF-2000 naked and change its avionics, rebuild everything inside the cockpit if the producer of the aircraft cooperates and give permissions and IP rights/source codes for modding. This is what we successfully did to F-16 Block 30.
There is no official embargo for F-404 engines.
Engines for the prototypes are delivered and are currently in TAI.
F-404 is an old engine and can't possibly be embargoed unless congress passes a law. Transaction related to payment of the engines is also lower than the embargo threshold (The...
PD-222 is a modified PD-170. Even though I don't expect them to be line replaceable a platform that flies with one of them can easily be certified to fly with the other. PD-170 delivered Baykar so that engine integration of TB3 can move according to schedule.
